It is quite possible that Fred and George saw Peter Pettigrew's name
and just assumed it was another student by the same name. They had no
reason to believe that he was alive. Only James, Remus, and Sirius
knew that he could change into a rat so there was really no reason to
think that Scabbers was actually Peter. I do agree with your statement
that the name did not have much significance to the twins as it did to
some of the other characters.
